Preparing for the Pink Slip (and some history)

Years ago I spoke a lot… at least twice a month I was on the road. When I spoke I’d want to go to as many job clubs as I could. The record was, I think, 13 job club presentations in 3 days in the Minneapolis area. I was exhausted, as was my voice.

I created a business card that, on the one side, said “pink slip.” on the other side was a link to JibberJobber.com/pink. The page went through a few versions, and we finally settled on what you see there. This needs another UI update, but my top 10 tips remain solid.

At the very top it says “Congrats, you got a pink slip!”

This was in jest, because the only people who went here were people who were at my presentation. But, when a friend tells me they got laid off, my wife and I will tell them congrats. Because in many cases, your life changes in a big way. And great things can happen.
